PanPastels and Paper Clay - Challenge theme "Roses are a Girls BestFriend"

I'm lucky enough to be given another opportunity to Guest Design over on the PanPastel Challenge.

The theme for the new Challenge is "Roses are a Girls Best Friend", come over and pop in your entry, the Design Team don't bite (in fact they're all rather lovely!!!)

I wanted to use this opportunity to show how PanPastels can be used to colour Paper Clay very effectively.  I used the yellow and orange to colour mine and once the flowers were dry I used Copper metallic Panpastel to go over the edges as you would with gilding wax.

On the background of the tag I blended the yellow and green PanPastels and then stamped the roses from Premium Craft Brands stamp set (aptly named Roses).  I then used Maimeri light modelling paste through their Spyrograph stencil to add a bit of texture, this I then hi lighted with the copper PP again.  Even the ribbon was coloured with the pans.

Bird, butterfly and swirls were added along with a small stamped tag, pearls and chain to finish off.

I so enjoyed making this tag - click here to enter your project.

  2. so pretty Yvonne, do you add the pan pastels to the paper clay before you make the flowers or do you paint the flowers when made?

  3. Thank you Hellen. I added the Panpastel to the paper clay but obviously as the clay is white it softens the colour so I then rubbed on more panpastel when dry to bring out the colour xxxx
